S.Purpose: It is known that early retirement has been increasing for patients with Parkinson\"s disease. The data on the factors that cause early retirement in this patient population is limited. The objective of this study is to analyze the effects of Parkinson\"s disease that cause early retirement.Publication Open Access Does kinesiophobia limit physical activity and quality of life in asthmatic patients(2022-09-01) KARACA, SEDA; POLAT, MİNE GÜLDEN; YILDIZ ÖZER, AYSEL; OĞUZ, SEMRA; Yıldız Özer A., Karaca S., Şenocak E., Oğuz S., Polat M. G.Kinesiophobia has been studied in musculoskeletal and neurological diseases. The aim of this descriptive study was to assess the level of kinesiophobia in stable asthmatic patients, and to determine whether it is an obstacle to physical activity and quality of life. A total of 62 asthmatic patients and 50 healthy control subjects were assessed using the tampa kinesiophobia scale (TSK) for kinesiophobia, International Physical Activity Questionnaire-Short Form (IPAQ-SF) for physical activity levels, and Asthma Quality of Life Questionnaire (AQLQ) for quality of life. A high degree of kinesiophobia was determined in 54.8% of the asthmatic patients. The TSK scores were significantly higher (P < 0.001), and the AQLQ scores were lower in the asthma group than in the control group (P < 0.001). The IPAQ-SF level and AQLQ score were lower (P < 0.001 for both) in the asthmatic group with a high kinesiophobia score. The TSK score was significantly associated with IPAQ-SF score (r = -0.889; P < 0.001) and AQLQ score (r = -0.820; P < 0.001) in asthmatic patients. According to linear regression analysis, kinesiophobia explained 84.40% of QoL and physical activity. Patients with a stable asthma were observed to have a high level of kinesiophobia compared with healthy subjects. High kinesiophobia levels may increase the disease burden by negatively affecting participation in physical activity and quality of life. While developing asthma education programs for asthma patients, it should be remembered that even in the stable period, kinesiophobia can develop. Preventive and therapeutic programs should include precautions to improve quality of life and physical activity against the effects of kinesiophobia.Publication Open Access The effect of 2 different dual-task balance training methods on balance and gait in older adults: a randomized controlled trial(2022-03-01) POLAT, MİNE GÜLDEN; OĞUZ, SEMRA; Yuzlu V., Oguz S., Timurtas E., Aykutoglu E., Polat M. G.Objective The purpose of this study was to compare the effects of integrated and consecutive cognitive dual-task balance training in older adults on balance, fear of falling, and gait performance. Methods Fifty-eight participants (age >65 years) were randomly assigned to an integrated dual-task training group (IDTT) (n = 29) and consecutive dual-task training group (CDTT) (n = 29). Balance exercises and cognitive tasks were performed simultaneously by the IDTT group and consecutively by the CDTT group for 8 weeks. Balance was assessed using the Berg Balance Scale as a primary outcome measure and the Timed \"Up & Go\" Test (TUG) (standard-cognitive), fear of falling was assessed using the Tinetti Falls Efficacy Scale, and gait speed was assessed using the 10-Meter Walk Test (10MWT) (under single-task and dual-task conditions). All tests were performed before and after the training. Results There was no difference in group-time interaction in the Berg Balance Scale, TUG-standard, 10MWT-single task, and 10MWT-dual task tests. Group-time interaction was different in the TUG-cognitive and Tinetti Falls Efficacy Scale scores. Also, the effect of time was significantly different in all scales except for the 10MWT-single task in both groups. Conclusion At the end of the 8-week training period, the impact of integrated and consecutive dual-task balance training on balance and gait performance in older adults was not statistically significantly different. This study suggests that consecutive dual-task balance training can be used as an alternative method to increase balance performance and gait speed in older adults who cannot perform integrated dual-task activities. Impact There were no significant differences between the effects of the 2 dual-task training methods on balance and gait speed, suggesting that the consecutive dual-task balance training method can be used to improve the balance and gait of older adults. CDTT can be performed safely and considered as an alternative method for use in many rehabilitation training programs with older adults who cannot perform simultaneous activities.Publication Open Access Okul çağı dönemindeki serebral palsi’li çocuklarda görsel-motor algı etkilenimi(2022-03-01) OĞUZ, SEMRA; DUMAN ÖZKAN, TUĞÇE; YILDIZ ÖZER, AYSEL; POLAT, MİNE GÜLDEN; Oğuz S., Duman Özkan T., Civelek M., Yıldız Özer A., Polat M. G.Serebral Palsi’li (SP) çocuklarda görsel bellek ve görsel algıdaki bozuklukların seviyesi beyindeki fonksiyonel bozuklukların seviyesine bağlıdır. Bu çocuklarda herhangi bir görme bozukluğu olsun ya da olmasın beyindeki fonksiyon bozuklukları görsel algılamada da bozulmaya neden olmaktadır. Çalışmamızın amacı, SP’li çocuklarda görsel-motor algı etkilenimini Bender Gestalt Görsel Motor Algılama Testi (BGGMAT) ile değerlendirmekti. Çalışmaya 5-11 yaş arası 30 sağlıklı, 30 SP’li çocuk dahil edildi. Değerlendirme BGGMAT ile yapıldı. İstatiksel analiz için IBM SPSS programı kullanıldı. Tanımlayıcı analizler nominal değişkenler için frekans tabloları; normal dağılmayan ve ordinal değişkenler için ortanca ve minimum- maksimum değerler kullanılarak verildi. Gruplar arası farklılığın belirlenmesinde nominal değişkenler için Ki-kare Testi, normal dağılmayan değişkenlerde MannWhitney U testi, grup içi değişkenler arası farklılığın belirlenmesinde ise Wilcoxon Testi kullanıldı. Yapılan değerlendirme sonucunda iki grup arasında persantil oranları bakımından anlamlı ölçüde fark saptanırken (p<0,05); hata puanı ve zekâ yaşları arasında istatiksel olarak anlamlı fark bulunmadı (p>0,05). SP’li bireylerde BGGMAT hata puanları, persantil oranları ve zekâ yaşları yaşa, cinsiyete ve alınan fizyoterapi süresine göre incelendiğinde, yaşa ve fizyoterapi süresine göre anlamlı fark olduğu gözlemlenirken (p<0,05); cinsiyetler arasında bir fark gözlenmedi (p>0,05). BGGMAT’e göre SP’li çocuklarda görsel-motor algının etkilendiği saptandı. Bu problemin rehabilitasyon sürecine olumsuz etkileri olabileceğinden SP’li çocuklarda rutin uygulamalara görselmotor algı değerlendirmesinin de eklenmesi gerektiğini düşünmekteyiz.Publication Open Access The effect of kinesiophobia on physical activity, balance, and fear of falling in patients with Parkinson's disease(2022-01-01) OĞUZ, SEMRA; POLAT, MİNE GÜLDEN; Oğuz S., Erturk G., Polat M. G., Apaydın H.Purpose Kinesiophobia is defined as the fear of movement and activity resulting from a feeling of vulnerability to painful injury or re-injury. This study aimed to determine the effect of kinesiophobia on physical activity, balance, and fear of falling in patients with Parkinson\"s disease. Methods The study, which was designed as a cross-sectional type, was conducted with 86 patients with Parkinson\"s disease (age 61.25 SD [9.72] years old) by face-to-face interviews with the patients. The Tampa Scale of Kinesiophobia, International Physical Activity Questionnaire-Short Form, Berg Balance Scale, Falls Efficacy Scale, Visual Analog Scale - Fear of Falling, Unified Parkinson\"s Disease Rating Scale - motor score, and the Hoehn and Yahr scale were used to evaluate the patients. Results Patients with Parkinson\"s disease who had high levels of kinesiophobia had lower levels of physical activity, worse balance, and higher disease severity and fear of falling. A correlation was found between the Tampa Scale score and physical activity, balance, fear of falling, falls efficacy, and disease motor score (p r = -0.38, -0.54, 0.67, 0.57, and 0.37, respectively). According to multiple linear regression analysis, kinesiophobia explained the dependent variables to varying degrees ranging from 13% to 44% (p < .001). Conclusions Patients with Parkinson\"s disease may have kinesiophobia. Rehabilitation programs to support functional capacity for these patients should be developed considering the presence of kinesiophobia.Publication Open Access Farklı Statik Germe Şiddetlerinin Diz Propriosepsiyonu Üzerine Akut Etkileri(2022-08-01) OĞUZ, SEMRA; Hasırcı Y., Oğuz S.Amaç: Germe egzersizi rehabilitasyonda sıklıkla kullanılmaktadır. Bununla birlikte germe egzersizleri kas reseptörlerini ve ilgili eklem propriosepsiyonunu etkileyebilir. Amacımız hamstring kaslarına üç farklı şiddette uygulanan statik germe egzersizlerinin (SGE) diz propriosepsiyonu (DP) üzerine olan akut etkilerini karşılaştırmaktır. Yöntem: Araştırmaya 18-45 yaş aralığında 108 sağlıklı yetişkin (103 Erkek, 5 Kadın) dahil edilmiştir. Çalışmaya dahil edilen katılımcılar randomize olarak 3 gruba ayrıldı. Gruplara farklı germe şiddetleri ile (maksimum germe şiddetinin %50’si, %75’i ve %100’ü), 30 saniye süreli SGE uygulandı. SGE dominant taraftaki hamstring kasına 3 tekrarlı olarak gerçekleştirildi. Grupların germeden önce ve hemen sonra 20 ve 45 derecelik fleksiyon pozisyonunda DP değerlendirildi. Bulgular: : Farklı şiddetteki SGE öncesi ve sonrası 20 ve 45 derecelik diz fleksiyonundaki propriosepsiyon ölçümlerinin hem grup içi değerleri hem de gruplar arası karşılaştırma sonuçları arasında anlamlı fark bulunmadı (p>0.05). Sonuç ve Öneriler: Farklı şiddetlerde uygulanan SGE’nin DP üzerine etkisi olmadığı saptandı. Bu araştırmada üç farklı tip germe şiddeti sonrası akut etki değerlendirilmiş olup farklı süre ve tekrar sayısındaki germe uygulamalarının akut ve kronik etkinliğinin irdelenmesine ihtiyaç vardır.Publication Open Access Comparison of balance and proprioception in individuals with myopia compared to healthy peers(2022-02-01) OĞUZ, SEMRA; SARI, ZÜBEYİR; Oğuz S., Şenocak E., Sarı Z.© 2022 Archives of Health Science and Research. All rights reserved.Objective: The visual system is one of the 3 most essential systems for maintaining balance. However, the evaluation of refractive error such as myopia has always been neglected in balance studies. This paper aimed to examine the differences in balance and proprioception measurements between individuals with myopia and their healthy peers. Materials and Methods: Fifteen subjects with myopic eye defects and 15 healthy peers were included in the study. Balance evaluations consisted of the tandem walk test (TWT), the limits of stability test (LOS), and the modified clinical test of sensory interaction and balance (mCTSIB). These evaluations were performed with a computer-aided NeuroCom Balance Master device. Additionally, proprioception was measured with the Biodex System 3 isokinetic dynamometer. Results: Individuals with myopic defects had higher step widths (P= .001), and end-sway (P = .007) than their healthy peers. The reaction time, maximum excursion, and directional control values of the myopia group were lower than those of the healthy peer group, but there was no difference between the results of the LOS and the m-CTSIB tests (P > .05 for all parameters). Moreover, the 60° proprioception evaluation deviation was higher in the myopia group for both dominant and non-dominant extremities. However, this deviation was not statistically significant (P > .05). Conclusion: This study showed some differences in the measured values for balance in myopic individuals compared to healthy peers. We think that the evaluation of the participants with the orthoses they use will provide more accurate results from the measurements in future studies evaluating balance and proprioception.
